The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 292 The Scientific Examination Begins

When Tao Gu felt that the imperial decree was read out by the tribute court, some of the officials didn't respond at all, just like usual.

But there are some people who are different. They are surprised at first, and finally have a bitter face, and at the same time they are thinking about what is going on.

Why is it different from what I said the day before yesterday? I was quite well prepared, but this is different from what I was prepared for.

I don't know anything else, so what should I do? Since this is the case, I will write as I prepared.

Needless to say, there are quite a few students who took the big exam in the entire AD, just like this man.

At first glance, these people look like those with fat heads, big ears, and potbellies. These people are all officials or children of rich families.

Yang Li, who was sitting in the examination room at this moment, was overjoyed when he saw this question, and then immediately calmed down.

"How can Da Song be strong?"

This is the topic of the first round, a topic that is completely different from the previous imperial examinations, and a practical topic.

None of you have ever seen something like this. In their previous exams, they extracted a sentence from ancient classics and asked you to prove it.

How could it be like this to say how the Song Dynasty can be strong? If you follow the previous set, it really won't work.

Seeing that other people are writing vigorously, I really don't worry at all, and I have thought about this problem many times in my heart.

I didn't expect it to be really used this time, so I was really lucky, Yang Li had a plan in mind.

But at this moment, he still remembered the brother Zhao Dexiu who he had only met once and had a good conversation with.

Why didn't I see him today, I believe that this brother's intelligence will definitely shine.

However, Yang Li quickly put this matter aside for the time being. He is still in the examination room, and he can't just think about other people.

As he said that, he began to write on the good paper that had already been laid out. The speed was not slow at all, as if he didn't need to think at all.

"How many exams did Tao Aiqing take this time to take part in our imperial examination in Song Dynasty?"

Not long after Tao Gu stayed in AD, he went back to Zhao Kuangyin to report, so the emperor asked.

Although the examination of the Gongyuan is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, Shang Shu does not have to preside over it himself, but his deputy minister is the examiner.

After all, Shang Shu is also a senior official, and he has other things to do, as long as he grasps the overall situation.

"The number of people reporting back to the emperor this time must have reached a thousand. It can be seen that our Great Song Dynasty has already won the support of all people in the world."

"The emperor's blessings are equal to the sky, and even many students from other countries came to our Great Song Dynasty to take part in this imperial examination. This is the blessing of God's blessing on my Great Song Dynasty, and it is all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing."

After listening to Tao Gu's report, Zhao Kuangyin also felt in a good mood. Never in the previous imperial examinations did so many people come as in the first imperial examination in the Song Dynasty.

Doesn't this indicate that the Great Song Dynasty was recognized by the people of the world and recognized by the heavens? Could he be unhappy?
"Love Qingping well, this is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty. I want to thank God, and of course I have the help of my ministers and workers."

"It's all His Majesty's wiseness. The ministers and others have served the country under His Majesty's wise leadership. Therefore, it is His Majesty's credit."

The two of them, the monarch and the minister, praised each other here, as if neither of them wanted to accept that it was their own credit.

While they were chatting, Yang Li here had already completed the test paper in his hand, and after checking that it was correct, he took the lead in handing in the test paper.

Be the first person to hand in the test paper, everyone looked at the first person to hand in the test paper with admiration.

But even if you have handed in the test papers, you can't leave. You have to sit and rest inside. Anyway, it's okay even if you lie down.

At this time, the two examiners next to Yang Li also handed in the test papers in their hands, and when they came back, they smiled back at Yang Li.

With the first and second role models, these students soon completed their first day of exams, some were happy and some were downcast.

As the saying goes, some families are happy and others are sad, that's how it is. Some people are proud and others are frustrated. This is a very normal thing.

Yang Li was about to pack up his things and leave when someone stopped him suddenly: "Brother, please stay."

Yang Li turned around and saw that they were the two neighbors, but he didn't know each other. It doesn't matter if you don't know each other. Since someone greets you, you have to return one. This is the most basic etiquette.

"I don't know what you two are called to live in, but I want to ask you how to address the two people. I am Yang Li, whose name is Ruli Jingzhao."

Yang Li introduced himself first, so that people would know what he was called, didn't he?

"It turned out to be Brother Yang, and the younger brother is Ziping Song Zhun, from Yongqiu, Kaifeng!"

"My younger brother Xu Shilian is also from Kaifeng, and I have met Brother Yang."

"Be polite, I don't know why the two virtuous brothers stopped me?" I don't know you, why do you want me?
It was Song Zhun who spoke first:

"It's like this. My younger brother saw that Brother Yang was the first to hand in the examination paper today because of his quick thinking. He is really a role model for my generation. So I wanted to make friends with my elder brother. I don't know what my elder brother would like."

"Brother Song Xian praised it absurdly, Brother Yu also met at the right time, but since they are all brothers of the same family, meeting is a fate, why don't we go celebrate?"

Yang Li suggested.

"Little brother, it's better to be respectful than to obey. I remember that there is a small tavern not far ahead, so let's go there." The three of them made an agreement and walked there together. Anyway, there will be exams tomorrow, so it's just time to relax one time.

"I heard from those candidates that today's examination questions in the examination room are different from what we got. What's going on with King Jin?"

A man who looked like an official asked Zhao Guangyi.

"Well, this is all a sudden change of mind by the emperor, and there is nothing anyone can do about it, and this just caught us off guard."

"Then the King of Jin changed the topic temporarily, did he discover something, or how could it be so?"

"I said Master Zhang, don't worry, the news from the palace said that it was the emperor's impromptu arrangement, not a special arrangement, so don't worry, when the time comes, you just need to arrange our people in positions with real power. "

This person is Zhang Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the official position of Jinshi in Xinke is not only the appointment of the emperor, but also the affairs of his Ministry of Officials.

"Brother, you have your Zhang Liangji and I have my wall ladder, let's see who is the winner this time as brothers!" Zhao Guangyi murmured
